Really hope Jamie coming back is true. For me Ryan's a great weapon to have in any team, and when we've used him off the bench before I don't think we used him enough. But when he's stood out for me it's been as a finisher rather than a playmaker and organiser to compliment Riddy as a regular starter in the halves.

Re: wingers, if we played an expansive game I'd be crying out for more pace, but playing so much up the middle I think a fast winger would be a luxury that would be wasted on us. We'd be better spending any money beefing up our pack, especially in light of Hoppy's upcoming move to the dark side of the borough. I think we have a good long term wing prospect in Hill, so as long as we continue to develop him with increasing opportunities in the side, I wouldn't be in any rush to get rid of Mado. I agree there's no room for sentiment and he might not be getting any quicker but he's almost always solid & dependable. A player who's strong in both areas is probably out of our price range, so I say play to our strengths in terms of the way we play the game, and Mado fits that at the moment.

He's never likely to score a full lengther, but I tell you what there can't be many players this like with his sort of strike rate within 10m of the line.

That's true Matt & besides Kes, Pownhall & Higson their the only ones with real pace although Garder isn't a slouch when he turns it on like he has done for try saving tackles. TBF Mado's best suited when Kes is playing & our team in general are as when they make a break Ryan's always there to support them. For me Higson should be tried outside of Mado on the wing & Littler dropped to the bench & to play in't back row. Adam's appeared to put some size on & IMO he could possibly do a better job in't back row now with his added size if it's needed. We'll certainly have some good options in the next month finally

Matt the finest finisher 10m from the line I have ever seen was Billy Boston , at that time he was well past his best and playing for Blackpool ,its the other 90 m that concern me , Batley wont be a threat for speed , if we keep Ben B quiet , but its later on in the season when we will need speed that worries me .

Hopefully Ryan will be back by then .

I bet Merelene Ottey could still RUN a bit Charlie , but I would not be looking to put her on the wing

Harold with her on the wing ,I would support the team
